Rebuking the position of his Republican presidential opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told "Meet the Press" on Sunday that cutting funding of a pro-Palestine student group from Florida state colleges was a "material support to terrorism" issue, not a matter of canceling one's right to free speech.
"And so, yeah, you have a right to go out and demonstrate; but you can't provide material support to terrorism. They've linked themselves to Hamas. And so we absolutely decertify them ... That's not a First Amendment issue. That's a material support to terrorism issue," DeSantis stated. "We as Palestinian students in exile are PART of this movement, not in solidarity with this movement," the toolkit reads.
